The government's "New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Control Subcommittee" has put together a new idea that measures should be taken with a greater emphasis on the degree of medical strain.


The subcommittee states that the level of medical care will be determined by each prefecture, as the degree of tightness in medical care will differ from prefecture to prefecture.

In response to this, the Cabinet Secretariat decided to show two indicators for determining the level of prefectures: "load on medical care provision system" and "infection status".



Of these, the "load on the medical care provision system, etc." includes "use rate of secured beds", "usage rate of severely secured beds", "hospitalization rate" and its "compared to last week", and "number of severely ill patients" compared to last week. There are five items of "Transition".



In addition, the "infection status" includes "positive rate of PCR test", "number of newly infected persons" per 100,000 people, "number of newly infected persons", "compared to last week" and "compared to last week", and "infection". There are five items, "Percentage of people whose route is unknown".



As of the 21st of this month, the Cabinet Secretariat released data for six prefectures: Hokkaido, Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Okinawa.

"Load on medical care provision system, etc."

The first is the "load on the medical care provision system, etc."
